Add comments and save filter views in the alert center
Wednesday, October 9, 2019
- Leave comments on alerts. This can make it easier to collaborate during investigations and keep a record of investigation and resolution actions for an alert.
- Use saved filters. This can help you quickly return to specific views without applying several individual filters each session.
- Admins: See our Help Center to learn how to use the alert center.
- End users: No action needed
You can now leave comments on alerts. When you leave a comment, it will appear in the ‘Alert history’ section when you look at an alert, and can be viewed by any other admin with access to the alert. This can help you keep track of any actions taken on the alert, and can make it easier for team members to collaborate to investigate and remediate alerts. Note that comments can be deleted, but only by the user that left the comment.

Use saved filters to personalize the alert center
If you have filters that you use regularly (for example, you may regularly filter for “High severity” alerts which have an “In Progress” status), you can now save these filters so you can get back to them quickly. Filters saved will be individual to each user, but you can share the URL once the filter is applied so colleagues can see the same view.
Saved filters help you quickly access common filter views in the alert center
